dirty little secrets

manufacturing isn't done in East Africa.  the best i can see is that Africa is used for it's cheap labor and fertile land but any type of industry doesn't exist.  so as i may have said before Africa is the dumping ground of the world.  everything is second or third hand.  the clothes, the cars [one of my staff members had a Japanese car with the time stuck on the Japan time zone - she couldn't change it because the directions were in Japanese], the planes [yikes!] and that's not all.  

so why should the gas be any different?  the oil companies dump gas that doesn't pass the western standard here in Africa.  all the global environmental policies and agreements won't make a difference if the multinationals continue behavior like this.
